Well it was a full and open competition. I guess no one else could match that low, low price.

Actually, same ham was available from Food Lion for .79 a pound. Guess the DoA doesn't clip coupons.

Here's your eggs to go with that ham.

36K to "Shell Eggs"? I thought the chickens did that part.

We need to get Ridemonkey some this cash, as a Green Vehicle Information Portal.

Wow, that's an insanely high price for ham...


Now if that was bacon I could at least understand.

Either way, I want to know what they plan on doing with 760,000 lbs of ham (at $1.50/lb)????

BTW, $.79 at food lion?!?! Really. Go down to your local supermarket and see what ham costs per lb.

Clougherty Packing of Los Angeles won a $1.2 million contract to provide sliced ham to food banks as part of the Agriculture Department's emergency food assistance program.

My guess is that wingnuts are on the prowl trying to find something to be upset about. Beats the hell out of actually doing something to make the country better.

My theory is it is just a very poorly designed App/Web page that makes it look like it is $1.2 Million for 2 pounds of ham, since there is no quantity line.

Or you're just an oblivious tool.
